Brad 's thoughts:

This was the first Challenge Charities race I had ever run, but my experience has been the same nearly each time. For a more in-depth review of a Challenge Charities 5K, check out this review: http://www.bibrave.com/races/challenge-aging-5k/1745

This is a small race, with a lot of friendly people. If you're looking for an extremely competitive race with lots of fast 5K runners, this isn't that race - it's a race for anyone and everyone, including those with arthritis, to get out there and have fun!

It's two laps around beautiful Como Lake, one of the rare races that I don't mind having to run laps for, instead of a point-to-point or single loop.

What makes this race fun is the race organizers and the other racers. Gary and his staff are incredibly friendly, and make this an easy and relaxing morning. It's almost as if you're just going for a competitive stroll around Como Lake with some new friends.

So, don't expect world-class speed runners in the field for this small race, but expect a lot of heart and a lot of fun!
